Chapter 159
"Sister......" Gu Qingzhao, who had just come out of the tent, saw this scene, and the water bag in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", almost immediately, and he galloped towards the horse as fast as he could.
"Ah......" Hearing everyone's exclamations again, they saw a shadow flying from the side and jumped up and landed behind Gu Qingwan.
His hands tightly hugged her thin body from behind, as if he were embracing his whole world, with careful and incomparably powerful force! ——
Gu Qingwan felt in a panic that she had fallen into a solid embrace, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her, and held the reins for him, almost at that moment, she felt a strong sense of security, as if the sky couldn't fall!
When she looked up, she saw that the perfect jaw curvature was him!
"Hold on!" His voice was magnetic and ringed in her ears.
There was a cliff ahead, but the horse was still running forward, and there was no intention of stopping!
"If you follow me, you'll die!" She said loudly.
"You follow me, you won't die!" He also responded loudly, his always cold voice full of domineering and affirmation.
Gu Qingwan's heart was shocked.
"Young master, the horse, the horse is coming!" Wen Ze rode a horse and galloped, and then slid off the horse's back with a rolling belt, Gu Qingzhao jumped up and chased in the direction of Ji Xu and Gu Qingwan.
"Your Highness, look over there! The county lord is in danger. Ji Han had just walked out of Ji Cheng's tent, and Changkong stepped forward in a few steps, pointed to the place where a bunch of people were around, and said.
Ji Han raised his eyes and saw the person on the horse, and suddenly, the cold and handsome face sank, and immediately snatched a horse from the guards passing by, got on the horse's back quickly, and kicked the horse's belly twice with his foot, and the horse neighed-
"Drive!" He shouted, and the horse galloped towards Gu Qingwan.
At the same time, on the side of the emperor's bright yellow tent, the curtain was lifted, and a slender and soft bright woman walked out, only to see that she was wearing a crane-style dress made of white silk and new mulberry silk, wearing a crown of pearls and nine Zhai on her head, with a slender waist bone, a soft body, clear and bright eyes, and a small mouth as small and full as a cherry.
When the people outside the tent saw her, they knelt down one after another, said goodbye, and said, "Guifei Niangniang." ”
Guo Guifei asked the grandmother beside her curiously, and said:
"What's going on over there?" The voice was like a nightingale, like a chant.
"Hui Niangniang, it is Gu Qingwan, the head of Zhaoyang County of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, who was frightened by a fierce horse, and the two highnesses happened to see it, so they all ran to save people." Mama Xu stepped forward and replied.
"Oh? Both Highnesses went to the rescue? Guo Guifei's expectant gaze couldn't help but look into the distance, and she asked softly, "Has His Royal Highness King Yujiang also been saved?" ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness King Yujiang also went." Mama Xu replied.
"Oh." Guo Guifei nodded slightly, her eyes couldn't help but give birth to a trace of doubt, Ji Han went to her but she was not surprised, after all, it was his fiancée, King Yujiang would go is something she didn't expect, that prince has always been cold, unkind, never nosy, let alone this kind of hero saving beauty in broad daylight, what's wrong today? Isn't there anything special about this Gu Qingwan?
"If Gu Qingwan is safe and sound, send her to see me." Guo Guifei explained to the people around her, and before turning around and entering the tent, she seemed to think of something again, and lazily added, "If you die, you don't need to say it." ”
She wanted to see what was so good about this Zhaoyang County Lord.
……
The horse, running faster, saw that it was getting closer and closer to the cliff, and that there were more and more onlookers on the hunting ground, and that in a short time the news spread throughout the hunting ground, and even the queen, who was in the tent with her eyes closed, heard about it, and sent someone out to find out.
Seeing the speed of the horse, everyone's hearts hung tightly in their throats.
Although Gu Tianyou had a worried look on his face, he really wanted Gu Qingwan to never come back.
It's best that Gu Qingzhao also has an accident, so that he won't have to do it in the future.
"Here they are." Ji Xu turned around and saw Ji Han and Gu Qingzhao chasing after him, he leaned down and whispered in Gu Qingwan's ear.
Gu Qingwan turned her head and looked behind Ji Xu's shoulder-
"Zhao'er......" she called softly.
And Ji Han?
She didn't expect Ji Han to come.
"Sit tight!" Ji Xu suddenly had an idea that he was unwilling to stop and kept running.
I saw that the stiffness of his hand suddenly pulled back hard, and the two of them leaned back at the same time, almost lying on the horse's back, and the horse's front hooves followed high, and then followed the strength of Ji Xu's hand to the side!
Just as the horse's hooves were about to step on the edge of the cliff, suddenly there was a turn, and the horse ran in the direction of the depths of the woods!
Seeing this, the person chasing behind was stunned, because the incident happened suddenly, but he didn't have time to quickly turn the horse's head, and when the horse turned around, Ji Xu and Gu Qingwan had already rushed into the depths of the woods and disappeared!
The sound of horses' hooves is getting quieter and smaller!
"Phew!" Ji Han clamped the horse's belly, tightened the reins, the horse stepped on its hooves in place, and Feng Qianyue's horse also arrived immediately.
The two of them also tightened their faces, their brows furrowed slightly.
And Gu Qingzhao didn't hesitate, and continued to turn the horse's head and chase after him-
That horse is his mount, well, how could it suddenly get out of control? There must be something inside in this, he wants to catch up, and only he can control it!
"Chase!" Ji Han also turned his horse's head and ran towards the depths of the woods.
The horse broke into the woods and continued to run uncontrollably, the potholed mountain road was difficult to walk, but the horse continued to run unhindered.
"Are you afraid?" On the rugged mountain road, Ji Xu hugged Gu Qingwan's body tightly and asked, the low breath lingering in her ears, making her cheeks and ears a little hot.
"Don't be afraid." Gu Qingwan shook her head firmly.
A smile appeared on Ji Xu's face, the wind blowing on their cheeks, the fragrance lingering between their noses, and the birdsong ringing in their ears.
May time always stand still in this moment, and may the horses keep running until the end of time, and no one can stop them.
Gu Qingzhao rode into the woods, but Ji Xu and Gu Qingwan were missing, and Ji Han, who was following closely behind, also stopped-
There was an open field in front of him, but he couldn't even see a shadow, and when he looked around, he didn't see the two people.
"It looks like we're going to launch a search for the guards!" Ji Han's face was solemn and authentic.
"Your Royal Highness, my sister is riding my horse, and she suddenly goes crazy, there must be a secret in it!" Gu Qingzhao's heroic brows were tightly locked, and he said.
"Gu Qingzhao, don't worry, I'll send people to find people now, besides, with Axu here, there will be no danger!"
His Royal Highness King Yujiang Ji Xu and Zhaoyang County Boss Gu Qingwan of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion disappeared in the woods at the same time!
His Royal Highness the Prince and the Young Master of the Gu family went in person, but they didn't find anyone.
This news quickly spread throughout the hunting grounds, and even the emperor inquired about it.
The horse galloped for an unknown amount of time, until it reached the deepest part of the woods, and at last it slowed down—
Ji Xu saw the opportunity, put one hand around Gu Qingwan's waist, and flew down steadily from the horse's back, the horse's limbs suddenly weakened, and the whole body fell down with a bang.
It twitched on the ground, its mouth was wide open, it was foaming at the mouth, and its eyes were bulging as big as Tongling.
"This is my brother's horse, which is very docile on weekdays, and today he suddenly went berserk, and there must be something wrong with it." Gu Qingwan squatted on the ground, looked at the horse's mouth carefully, and said.
Probably because he ran too long and too fast to stand it, the tired and dying horse spat out a mouthful of unconsumed food.
Ji Xu frowned slightly, "There's something wrong with what it eats, you see!" He took the stick beside him, stirred the lump of food, and saw that there was a stick of licorice in it, and then dialed it, "Licorice, ephedra, fine spice, aconite......
"How can these Chinese medicines appear in good horse feed?" Gu Qingwan asked as she heard Ji Xu count the names of these Chinese medicines.
Ji Xu threw away the wooden stick in his hand, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, a cool and thin expression appeared on his face, and said, "When these Chinese medicines are mixed together, if people eat them, I am afraid that they will be so excited that they will not be able to close their eyes for three days and three nights." ”
Hearing this, she looked up, and there happened to be two birds flying over the top of the tree, flapping their wings, and a fallen leaf slowly fell and fell on the horse's body.
"Heh, they don't even let go of the horses, they really do anything to deal with you." Ji Xu watched the horse gradually close his eyes and die, and in his deep eyes, Yu said with a murderous aura in his indifference, "How do you want to pay tribute to them?" ”
She said he did.
"This horse's name is Qifeng, and it is Zhao'er's favorite horse, so naturally he can't die in vain." She stepped aside, picked three wild chrysanthemums, stuck them in front of the horse, stood up, and looked at the unicorn with white foam on her lips, her eyes sharp and resolute.
"Then let's pay for it." Ji Xu looked at the three flowers, and said lightly, they were gently swaying with the wind.
"The horse died, and now we have to walk out of the woods." Gu Qingwan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the sky, it was getting dark, they had to get out of this forest before it got dark.
If they didn't show up at the customary bonfire banquet in the evening, I am afraid that there would be a lot of gossip, but she was not afraid of herself, but she was afraid that it would affect Ji Xu.
"Okay, let's go." Walking out with her, Ji Xu's heart suddenly became a little excited.
The road in the woods, sometimes flat, sometimes rugged, the two stopped and walked all the way.
Gu Qingwan was in front and Ji Xu was behind, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, pulling a long, long shadow.
He walked slowly, his gentle gaze on her back.
As he walked, there were more trees in front of him, so Ji Xu walked forward quickly, and he stretched the thorny branches and thorns in front of him to both sides with his hands, leaving enough space for Gu Qingwan to walk over unscathed.
After walking for a long time, the back of his hand was accidentally scratched by a few thorns, he quietly hid his hand in his sleeve, and then let Gu Qingwan walk in front of him.
Neither of them spoke, but there was an inexplicable atmosphere of tacit understanding.
