Chapter 021: Seeking the Afterlife (1)

"So what now?" Jian Ning looked around, it was pitch black, and she couldn't find her direction at all.

Ruan Zijin pondered for a moment and said, "It's impossible for Yunling and Xi'er to come here by themselves, so someone must have caught them and brought us here." There's nothing in front of you except a mass grave, so let's go there first. ”

"Okay." There was no other way now, Jian Ning and Liu Leshan both nodded in agreement.

Ruan Zijin was in front, Jian Ning and Liu Leshan were behind, and the horse was moving forward.

But after running less than five miles, Ruan Zijin suddenly reined in his horse, and at the same time motioned to Jian Ning and Liu Leshan to stop and not make a sound, and listened quietly for a while.

"Not good, someone!" After Ruan Zijin lowered his voice and said to the two people beside him, he immediately sneered and said to the surroundings: "Since Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time, why don't you show up to meet you?" ”

Jian Ning and Liu Leshan were silent now, not daring to make a sound. Now that they are in the open, the other party is in the dark, and they don't know whether the other party is friend or foe, they must not take off Zijin's hind legs.

"It is worthy of being Ruan Feichen's apprentice, it is really powerful." Such a familiar voice resounded through the trees.

Xiahou Yan and Feng Yang, as well as twelve shadow guards, fell from under the tree, surrounding Jian Ning and the three of them.

"I don't dare to be it, but next time you should change the batch and not breathe, in that case, maybe my master is alive, and I may not find out." Ruan Zijin glanced at the Twelve Shadow Guards.

Although these twelve people are not simple, they can barely cope with it. It's just that in this way, I can't care about anything else.

Jian Ning had no way to measure the actions of these people. At this moment, Xiahou Yan should have been in the camp of the Eastern Merchants, but the fact was that they were waiting for them in such an eerie and terrifying place with few people.

"Did you catch Yunling and Xi'er?" Jian Ning stabilized her mind, put aside distracting thoughts, and asked seriously.

"Yes, I did send for them." Xiahou Yan admitted it very simply. It seems that it is really like what he himself said, "please" rather than "catch".

"What about them?" Although Jian Ning was a little angry in her heart, ensuring the safety of Yunling and Xi'er was the most important thing right now.

"They're good, I'll let them go back after dawn." Xiahou Yan said lightly, "Now I just want to talk to you." ”

"You caught Yunling and Xi'er. Is that what brought me here? Do you know what you're doing right now? Jian Ning didn't know where her qi came from.

"It's because I know. will do so. Xiahou Yan's voice still didn't change significantly.

"Ning'er, since Emperor Xiahou said so, you can talk to him, some things always have to be solved. Zijin and I are waiting for you nearby. Liu Leshan looked at the current situation. still stepped forward to persuade Jian Ning.

He could see it. Ning'er is affectionate to Xiahou Yan. It's just that I don't know why Ning Er is always forcing herself to stay away from Xiahou Yan.

After Liu Leshan took Ruan Zijin to retreat some distance, Feng Yang also retreated with the Twelve Shadow Guards.

"If you have anything to say, you will be able to say everything you want to ask this time. Finish asking. After that, I hope you can forget about me and stop disturbing my life. Jian Ning dismounted, looked at Xiahou Yan, endured the discomfort in her heart, and said resolutely.

"I just want to ask, where exactly am I losing?" Xiahou Yan took a few steps forward, looked straight into Jian Ning's eyes and asked.

"A lot of things aren't measured by wins or losses." Jian Ning sighed low and said, "You're fine." ”

"What he Long Zeye can give you, I can give it to you, and even if he can't give it to you, I can give it to you" Xiahou Yan grabbed Jian Ning's shoulder and said with some excitement.

Jian Ning let her hold it, maybe let him vent.

waited until he slowly calmed down before he said: "What you give me may not be what I want, and what I want may not be what you can give." ”

"And what do you want?" Xiahou Yan said angrily, "Could it be that he gave it to Long Zeye?" ”

"I want an equal encounter, there is no longer time and space between us that cannot be crossed, and there is no longer a fate that cannot be changed," Jian Ning said silently in her heart.

I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to tell him these words. Their encounter was destined to lead to nothing.

"Is there no way to answer? Is your heart so biased toward him? Seeing that Jian Ning hadn't answered for a long time, Xiahou Yan took two steps back with self-deprecation, "I forced myself to forget again and again, but I got scarred again and again." I thought I was awake this time, but now I seem to be sick! ”

Jian Ning looked at Xiahou Yan like this, and she was a little worried and scared.

"Emotional things are the most forceful, and reluctantly being together will only make both sides lose, why did we get to that point?"

Jian Ning originally wanted to persuade Xiahou Yan to let go, but she didn't want Xiahou Yan to be even more unwilling in her heart.

In a flash, his figure had already lit Jian Ning's acupoint. Jian Ning couldn't move, and her mouth couldn't speak.

In the next second, the person was already sitting on the horse with Xiahou Yan in his arms, with anger, surprise, and fear in his eyes

"Then let's lose both." After Xiahou Yan said this sentence in Jian Ning's ear, he rode his horse and galloped.

Ruan Zijin knew something was wrong when he heard the neighing of the horse, and immediately wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Feng Yang and the Twelve Shadow Guards and couldn't get out.

Xiahou Yan took Jian Ning all the way to the border, and Jian Ning finally understood why Xiahou Yan was able to sneak into Yuanchu from under Long Zeye's nose silently. Because in many key places, Xiahou Yan actually dug secret passages.

These are by no means something that can be done overnight, Long Zeye has been so strict in purging the spies of various countries, but even if he purge people, how can he solve the remaining problems in a short period of time.

By the time they reached the tent of the eastern merchants at the border, it was already four days later.

Along the way, there were people secretly answering and arranging, and when they went in and out of the secret passage, the rest of the time they were on horseback. Xiahou Yan and the others really didn't rest for a moment, and hurried day and night. Jian Ning was always awake on the first night, but after the last two nights, she still didn't stay up, and she fell asleep groggily leaning on Xiahou Yan.

Feng Yang never caught up, so until Jian Ning, who was in the Dongshang camp, didn't know what happened to Zijin and them.

Xiahou Yan suddenly brought her back, which caused quite a stir in the army. Many soldiers, and even generals, were constantly asking for orders from Xiahou Yan to use Jian Ning to deal with Ling Sui and Yuan Chu.

And the fact that he was taken away by Xiahou Yan quickly reached Long Zeye's ears. (To be continued......)
