When Qingxi left Beisu, he took Xie Zhi with him.

It wasn't in her plans.

But when she saw Xie Zhi waiting outside the Shuai Mansion just to know if there was any latest news from Shangdu, an idea suddenly popped up in her heart: maybe she could convince Xie Zhijing to do so.

So, she said: "The situation in Shangdu is unknown, and the Holy Lord and His Highness may have encountered difficulties. I think Your Highness, if you were here, would have sought your advice. And if you were in Shangdu, you would definitely help him through it. Because he sees you as a close friend, and you see him as a confidant. I know you just want to be at ease among the people, but I'm asking you to help your old friend, I don't know if you'd like to? ”

Xie Zhi's face was solemn and did not reply to her.

But early the next morning, when Qingxi was leaving, he saw Xie Zhi who had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the city.

He led the horse, carried the package, and saluted: "The grass people are willing to go this way for their friends." ”

Qingxi smiled slightly.

She knew that Xiao Yizheng couldn't do this to let Xie Zhi enter Beijing willingly, just because he didn't want to force his friends, no matter what the reason.

And she herself used this to impress Xie Zhi.

"Is there an explanation at home?" She asked.

Xie Zhi also said frankly: "My father and uncle naturally don't want to get involved in any fight, and the grass people should also promise never to do anything out of the ordinary, and never let the Xie family fall into a crisis." ”

Qingxi nodded and said, "That's nature, don't worry." ”

"Actually, the elders in the family also hope that His Highness is safe, otherwise they wouldn't let me go so easily." Xie Zhi added.

Qingxi returned a grateful look and said neatly: "Then let's go, we can't delay." ”

This time out of Beisu, only Jiang Lian and Qingxi walked together.

Ding Ming and Li Han temporarily stayed in Beisu to connect with the principals in the north, and then the two would return to Shushan to make preparations.

Now, Xie Zhi is also going east with the two of them.

After walking out of Beisu for a long time, the three of them took a short rest by a lake.

A team of people ran on the official road, and Qingxi was drinking water and didn't pay too much attention.

Xie Zhi was alert: "Princess, it's Danda. ”

Qingxi immediately looked into the distance and nodded, "It's Danda's outfit." At this time, the Danda people who can go to Beisu should be the envoy group. ”

Jiang Lian took a step forward and said with a smile: "So that Princess Qiqina should be among them." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a red figure rushed out of the team of horses that had already gone away.

Qingxi's eyes narrowed, and she sighed: "You're right, she's already here." ”

Kicina galloped her horse and the team in the opposite direction, running towards Qingxi.

When Jiang Lian saw this, he paid attention to the Danta horse team that had stopped in the distance, and stood nervously in front of Qingxi.

Qingxi patted him and said lightly: "It's okay, they don't dare to attack me." ”

Although she said this, Jiang Lian didn't dare to relax for a moment, and still stubbornly stood motionless in front of her.

When the horses galloped to the lake, Kicina pulled the reins, crossed her legs and dismounted, and approached the three of them in three or two steps.

Seeing Jiang Lian standing firmly in front of her, Qingxi had no choice but to step forward by herself, stood beside him, and met Qiqina's inquiring gaze: "Don't come harmed, princess." ”

Kicina held the horsewhip in her hand, raised her head, and said angrily: "Sure enough, it's you." I'll just say, I'm not mistaken. ”

"The princess naturally has good eyesight!" Qingxi said with a smile, deliberately accentuating the tone on the word good eyesight.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say in what Gangnam? Qiqina looked at Jiang Lian and Xie Zhi left and right, and then said, "There are still two men ...... with you."

"Princess Shenyan!" Before she finished speaking, she was cut off by Jiang Lian.

This shout made Kikina slightly stunned.

She saw that Jiang Lian's eyes had undisguised a fierce light, and she was not to be outdone, and replied with a cold look: "Who are you?" Am I wrong? Aren't you men? ”

Jiang Lian just wanted to open his mouth to fight back, but Qingxi said with a smile: "There are men in the princess's team, and I don't think there is anything wrong." The princess asked a strange question. However, when we were on our way, we did not say much to the princess. The princess returned to Ulantu this time, and had a smooth journey. She said and handed the water bag to Jiang Lian and said, "Let's go."

bar. ”

Jiang Lian took it naturally, escorted Qingxi and walked to the place where the horse was parked.

Kikina immediately said, "I'm really not worthy of King Heng." For the sake of you, he refused to let me enter the palace under so much pressure and risk. And you're at ease here. I think that even if he has a good one now, he still doesn't know that his princess is no longer waiting for him in Jiangnan! ”

Qingxi paused, then turned around, his eyes were like sharp swords, staring straight at her, and asked coldly, "What did you say?" ”

Kikina snorted lightly: "I said, he is now facing risks in Shangdu alone, but you are happy here." ”

Qingxi stepped forward quickly, stood in front of her, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you know?" ”

Her sudden seriousness made Kikina slightly startled.

She put her hands behind her back and had a look of why I am telling you, very unfriendly.

At this time, Xie Zhi stepped forward, saluted, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The grass people have seen the princess." We are the subordinates of His Royal Highness King Heng, and I am very worried about His Royal Highness's safety, and I don't know ...... princess."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qingxi: "Princess, do you love him?" ”

Kikina's expression was stunned, and Xie Zhi was also stunned.

Qingxi looked directly at Kikina and continued, "Because you love him, you want to marry him, right?!" ”

Kikina's eyes were complicated, her head was slightly lowered, and she said heartily: "That's right, that's it." ”

"Then the princess should be in the same mood as I am, and I hope he is safe and well, right?"

"Not really! He won't marry me, and I hope he has a restless life! Kikina's tone was stubborn and proud.

"Really? Will it be destroyed if it is not obtained? Then you are not worthy of loving him! Qingxi replied firmly.

Xie Zhi felt that it was inconvenient for him to intervene in such a conversation, so he took a few steps back and stood with Jiang Lian.

Along the way, he and Jiang Lian also became acquainted.

"Brother Jiang, you know how to do some kung fu, that Princess Qiqina is a master, you have to watch, you can't let the princess make a mistake." He reminded Jiang Lian in a low voice.

Jiang Lian didn't need to be reminded by him. He replied in a deep voice: "Although she can't do kung fu, she can win against the foreign princess." ”

Not far away, Qingxi is launching an offensive with words.

She said: "I believe that the princess is a man of temperament, and she has no regrets. You won't hurt him, you'll help him, will you? ”

"How do you know I'm not going to hurt him? It's as if you know me very well. ”

Qingxi shook his head: "I don't know the princess, I understand my own heart." If you really care about a person, you want him to be well, even if he does not have himself in his life. Princess, I am no different from you in this matter. ”

Kikina's breath stagnated, and her mind began to turn over.

Qingxi's words were very simple and clear, but they seemed to touch the softest part of her heart with just the right amount of power.

She took out that heart to Xiao Yizheng but was sent back intact, and he gave her a gentle and merciless blow because of the person in front of her.

But now, this man told her: it turns out that he is the same as her.

On the contrary, she affirmed her heart.

Qingxi saw her looking at herself with a vain gaze, and said again: "If the princess doesn't want to say more, it's fine." I'll know when I get back to Shangdu. Whether he's good or bad, I'll just accompany him. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave, but Qiqina spoke: "You should be careful of Uncle Yuan." ”

Qingxi was shocked in his heart, and immediately turned around to confirm what he heard.

"That's all I have to say. I have also left a letter for King Heng, and he should be on guard. Kicina looked at her.

Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if he knows, it's good if he knows." ”

Kicina looked at the reassuring smile on her face, and felt that this shallow smile under the sun was filled with a sense of happiness that people couldn't avoid, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She came closer and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to know why I voluntarily gave up the marriage plan?" ”

Qingxi frowned slightly between his eyebrows and shook his head slightly.

"You must have thought it was because he wouldn't marry me, that I was out of options, and that I ran away on my own, right?" Kicina shook the whip in her hand.

Qingxi was silent, mentally thinking about what her intentions were.

"Maybe everybody thinks so." Kikina said to herself and nodded slightly. Suddenly, she looked up and smiled, laughing wildly. She continued dismissively, "But the truth is, I don't want to continue. Actually, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is my father's killer. There is a national hatred between me and him, but we Danda people are not as hypocritical as you. In the final analysis, it was not his fault that Danda fought with Dacheng, each for his own family and country, which is understandable. I admire his heroism and his gentleness. So, I went to Shandu. Originally, I was just curious about what I couldn't get, but since I got it later, why did I stay away from my homeland and trap myself in Shangdu City for the rest of my life? Isn't it worth it! So I left on my own. That's right, I've got it. ”

Qingxi raised her eyes to look at her, and her breathing changed slightly.

Kicina was sure she was wondering what she meant. So, he deliberately stopped for a long time and didn't speak, waiting for Qingxi's question.

But Qingxi just looked at her so calmly, as if she wasn't curious.

She had no choice but to speak again: "When the princess goes back, she will definitely hear that he has been with me for a long time in Meijinglou, and we have done a lot of things. For me, I got it. ”

After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth were raised, revealing a victor's smile, waiting for Qingxi's gaffe to reflect.

However, she was disappointed.

After hearing this, Qingxi's eyebrows that were originally slightly frowned expanded, but he smiled slightly, extremely gentle.

She only said: "Take care all the way, princess." ”

Then, she turned and strode away.

Kicina stood stunned and stunned for a moment.

How, this can be endured?

She didn't understand Qingxi's reaction very much, and waved the horsewhip irritably, muttering angrily: "I don't believe you will have no mustard in your heart!" ”
