"Go ahead." Ling Xiao replied casually, raised his hand to pinch a thin branch, and looked up.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't hesitate for a moment, lifted the corner of his skirt and drilled into the depths of the valley, and his steps were fast.

Behind him, Ling Xiao snapped and broke the branch in his hand: "Idiot." ”

The fine golden leaves fell in an instant. Ling Xiao casually threw the bald branch to the ground, brushed his sleeves and turned around as relieved: "Let's go, go home!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi only had the sound of his own footsteps in his ears, and he never heard the movement behind him.

Of course, even if you hear it, you don't care. She knew that many things were bad because of indecision, so since she made the decision to "run away", she no longer had to speculate on Ling Xiao's thoughts.

She just needs to get out of his sight, out of his control, and then the initiative will return to hers, and the victory or defeat is up to her.

The road under your feet is not smooth, and it is paved with dead branches and leaves, and it is easy to slip when you step on it. Ruan Qingzhi simply lifted her skirt and tied it in a knot, her limbs were suddenly liberated, and the speed of escape was significantly faster.

Her aim, of course, was not to escape into the ravine, but the opposite.

After running for a while, she made sure to leave the bumpy path beneath her feet and began to climb up the hillside.

There were tree trunks for her to climb all the way, so it was not difficult to escape. Just avoid those annoying vines -

and colorful insects and snakes that are hiding somewhere.

Ruan Qingzhi was slapped in the face by himself.

Now she suddenly felt that it was better to look ahead and backward before doing things. If she had thought about it before running away, she might not have run so hastily that she had to face the bugs in this valley alone at the moment.

Yes, she's scared of the gadgets. I remember that in a certain life, she was very interested in studying medicine, and she really read a lot of medical books, found a lot of ancient recipes, and recognized all kinds of herbs, and finally planted them on insects, so she had to give up halfway.

Those are all dead bugs! Now let her drill alone in the mountains, on the top of her head, on her elbows, and in her neck...... A live one will pop up at any time, so how can she not be afraid!

To make matters worse, her body was not yet well, her aching eyes could not stand the flickering light in the woods, and her vision was often blurry, and on two occasions she almost hit a spider's web.

The second time he saw the long-legged spider with yellow and black markings, Ruan Qingzhi's feet went weak and he fell to the ground.

In other words, wouldn't it be a shame for an old monster who has lived for several lifetimes to be scared and cry by bugs?

Forget it, I can't care about being embarrassed, let's cry first!

Ruan Qingzhi was really devastated, so collapsed that he didn't even care about whether there were insects on the ground, and he cried as soon as he sat on the pile of fallen leaves.

At first, she was a little restrained, but then she thought that there should be no one in the depths of this valley, so she simply let go of her throat and cried in the dark.

In the end, it was not only for fear of insects, but also for the sake of crying out the grievances of being stolen for fate in this life, which was called a dark sky and shaking mountains.

She didn't feel anything when she ran before, but when she sat down, she remembered that she had just picked up this life, and her whole body was still in pain! After running for a while, the soles of my feet have been worn out, and my hair is often hung by branches and vines, and now it is already like a fluffy grass in the wind, and my eyes hurt so much that it takes a hard time to turn......

"How can I be so unlucky!" The more Ruan Qingzhi thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help but start a new round of crying, crying until the sky was dark and refused to stop.

Until, without warning, a chuckle sounded in my ears.

This kind of "danger is imminent" fright made Ruan Qingzhi bounce up instantly.

She had been sitting, but she couldn't get up, but fell back uncontrollably, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she had coincidentally fallen under the cobwebs, and the colorful little creature was running in her direction with eight slender legs.

Ruan Qingzhi let out an uncontrollable scream in her throat, covered her face with her hands and crawled to the side with her hands, and the next moment she unfortunately bumped into a tree, and her tears instantly welled up again.

Crying and screaming, messy. I've never been so embarrassed in nine lifetimes.

After the fright, she was suddenly a little worried that the spider would crawl on her, so she held her breath to find the web.

Then, she noticed that a step away from the cobweb, there was a man standing.

Ruan Qingzhi instinctively exclaimed and wanted to run away again. The man had to step forward and say, "Miss, it's me." ”

Ruan Qingzhi trembled in fright, and then raised his head tremblingly, and finally saw the man's face clearly.

It's a cold night.

She let out a long sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, holding her chest and gasping for breath for a long time, and finally gathered enough strength to hold on to the trunk of the tree and climb up with difficulty.

Ye Han came over and bent down to help her, Ruan Qingzhi fell into his arms, clenched his fists and slammed them down on his shoulder.

"Hey......" Ye Han subconsciously retreated, aggrieved and roared: "Why did you hit me?!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi saw that he was about to hit the cobweb, and screamed in fright: "You stop!" Hold it! No refund! ”

Ye Han had no choice but to stop, only to feel inexplicable.

Ruan Qingzhi was scared and annoyed, and couldn't help but give him two more punches, and then leaned on his shoulder and cried.

Ye Han wanted to ask her if she was going to cry about this mountain, but because of her identity, she didn't dare to make this joke, so she had to hold her honestly and pat her back like a child.

Fortunately, Ruan Qingzhi didn't cry for too long this time, and quickly pushed him away and stood up.

Ye Han's heart was lost.

Ruan Qingzhi wiped away her tears, and the expression on her face had regained her calmness, but her voice became very hoarse: "It's time to go." Do you know the way out? ”

By this time, it was almost completely dark, and the mountain road was actually very difficult to find. But Ye Han didn't show any embarrassment, and nodded very blandly: "I know." I'll carry you out? ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't say anything polite to him, and climbed onto his back without saying a word.

Ye Han was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that it took some effort to carry her up, and her posture was still twisted, and her two hands didn't know where to put them at all.

Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that he patted him on the shoulder again: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hook my legs! Are you going to carry someone? ”

Ye Han hesitated for a moment, and dared to do so, always suspecting that Ruan Qingzhi would blow his head off in the next moment.

Of course not. After confirming that he was safe, Ruan Qingzhi lay down on his back with peace of mind, and whispered in his ear in a voice that was about to cry: "There are many insects in the mountains, you have to hide, spiders, lizards and the like, and snakes......"

Ye Han smiled: "What are you afraid of?" Those little things are afraid of people. As long as you don't mess with them, they won't come to bite you. ”

Of course, Ruan Qingzhi knows this truth, but knowing does not mean that he can not be afraid.

There was no need to tell others about such a shameful thing, so she didn't explain, but just agreed haphazardly, and asked, "When did you find me?" ”

Ye Han didn't dare to tell the truth, and said vaguely: "I found it by crying." ”

Ruan Qingzhi stiffened when he heard this, and in the next moment, he grabbed his neck with both hands: "Don't say it!" Hear no! ”

Ye Han lowered his head and chuckled softly.

Ruan Qingzhi's face suddenly turned red, grinding his teeth and threatening: "If you dare to speak out, I will kill you!" Extinguish! ”

Ye Han simply laughed out loud: "Don't worry, I won't say it!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that he almost had to execute the extermination on the spot.

Ye Han hurriedly helped her steady, gritted his teeth and said, "If you move again, I'll throw you down!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi suddenly became honest, and he didn't dare to move when he stuck to his back.

Ye Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon noticed that the warm breath was blowing on the back of his neck, so crisp and itchy that half of his shoulders were numb, and the roots of his ears were already madly hot.

Nguyen Thanh Chi didn't know anything about it. She only knew that she was safe, whether it was His Royal Highness the scheming King Rui or the insects and snakes in this valley, they couldn't hurt her at this moment.

The indignant heart of the empty and miserable relatives completely settled down, and there was nothing to cry about anymore.

She sighed and pressed her face against Ye Han's back, so comfortable that she just wanted to sleep.

At this time, the cold of the night has been stirred by the softness on the back. In order to resist those strange emotions, he thought about it for a while and blurted out, "Just now, why did you cry?" ”

No smart person would ask such a question. Ruan Qingzhi's heart was annoyed again when he had just calmed down.

But at this time, it would be too unreasonable to lose your temper with the night cold. She had to suppress her anger and said sullenly: "If you want to cry, you can cry!" ”

Ye Han sighed and didn't say anything more. The night had completely fallen, and the only sound in the silent forest was the sound of his heavy footsteps, which could be heard far away.

It took almost an hour to get out of this valley. Ruan Qingzhi squinted on Ye Han's back for a while, and when he woke up, he realized that he was too much, and he was busy struggling to get off the ground: "I'm not tired anymore, you let me down!" ”

Ye Han chuckled: "Do you want to be strong again?" ”

"What do you mean by being strong?!" Ruan Qingzhi was not convinced.

Ye Han pinched her feet with a bad heart, and unsurprisingly heard the sound of gasping, followed by Ruan Qingzhi's roar: "What are you doing!" ”

Ye Han said unhurriedly: "Your feet hurt when you touch it a little, it must be worn out, don't you admit it?" I saw your right foot and didn't dare to hit the ground. ”

Ruan Qingzhi was speechless, knocked him on the shoulder casually, and then lay down and didn't speak.

Ye Han thought that she would not go, so he said again: "We used to rush to ...... It's okay to stay on foot for days and nights, so you don't have to worry about me. ”

Ruan Qingzhi paused in the middle of hearing him, and couldn't help frowning.

But she didn't ask, because she was angry.

"How dare you pinch my feet...... I pretend not to understand, he can blatantly take advantage, isn't it! She gritted her teeth and muttered, scolding the stinky man several times with hatred in her heart.

She didn't know that Ye Han's ears were too powerful, and she was close at the moment, and she thought that only she could hear the small complaints, but he had already listened to them word for word.

Ye Han didn't think much about it originally, but at this moment, after being reminded by her, she remembered that the girl's feet were the most noble, and her behavior just now was indeed too Meng Lang.

But what is it? I've hugged it, I've carried it on my back, I've fed it with medicine, and I've almost taken advantage of it, so what's wrong with pinching my feet? It's a big deal, and he's not afraid!

Ye Han thought of this, and his heart was completely calm, and his divine skill "shamelessness" had been practiced to a new level.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and in silence, they had left Luoxia Mountain far behind.

The night was thick, there were no pedestrians or cars and horses on the official road, and it seemed that there were only two of them between heaven and earth, walking forward steadily step by step.

Ruan Qingzhi suddenly remembered that when he came during the day, the carriage had been gone for more than an hour. Calculate the distance, wouldn't it be dawn to walk back like this?

She suddenly felt anxious in her heart, and straightened up on Ye Han's back: "We don't want to go back like this, right?" Didn't you ride a horse when you came? ”

Ye Han paused at his feet, and then said lightly: "I was no longer in the house when I heard the news. It was too late to go back and ride the horse, so he hired a carriage from the carriage and horse dealership, but the coachman refused to wait at the bottom of the mountain. ”

Ruan Qingzhi frowned when he heard this, and always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his explanation, but he couldn't find fault for a while.

Ye Han carried her on his back and walked silently for a while, and said, "If you are sleepy, just sleep on my back, and I will be able to carry you back before dawn." ”

Ruan Qingzhi was indeed a little sleepy, so he answered in a low voice and fell on his back again, but he couldn't sleep for a while.

This time it was such a strange experience. She thought to herself, lazy and no longer moving.

After a while, Ye Han suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you still have thoughts about King Rui?" ”

"What?" Ruan Qingzhi raised his head.

Ye Han was stunned: "You didn't fall asleep?" ”

"Nope." Ruan Qingzhi slowly propped himself up, "What did you mean by that sentence just now?" Why ask while I'm asleep? ”

Ye Han's footsteps returned to walking steadily as usual: "It's nothing, just ask." ”

Ruan Qingzhi was angry: "Just ask? Just ask you, what are you doing with that brain-dead? He also asked me if I missed him, what could I think? Marry him as a concubine? ”

Ye Han was silent for a long time, and his voice suddenly deepened: "I'm just asking in vain, what are you doing so nervous?" ”

"I'm nervous!" Ruan Qingzhi gritted his teeth, "I'm angry when I think of that bastard, you still want to mention him!" Are you deliberately having trouble with me? ”

It's a question that can't be answered. Ye Han was helpless: "That's it, it's my fault." ”

Ruan Qingzhi punched him in the shoulder angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think I don't know what dirty things are going on in your heart!" You must be like the idiots on the street, thinking I was rushing to slap him, didn't you? You think I was thrown in the valley by him because I couldn't invite pets, so that's why I cried, didn't you? ”

"Isn't it?" Ye Han was greatly surprised, and his voice involuntarily rose up.

Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that he struggled to get down on his back again: "Since you think of me as so cheap, why do you have to go into the mountains to find me?" Let me die in it! ”

"Isn't it?!" Ye Han suddenly laughed, "It's good if it's not!" Couldn't be better!! ”

"Ye Han, you're a fool, aren't you?" Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that he just wanted to beat him.

Ye Han didn't feel angry at all, and forcefully turned her upside down to make her back more stable, and strode away from the night meteor and continued to move forward.

Ruan Qingzhi sensed his emotions and felt inexplicable in his heart.

How moody this old man is! Just now, it seemed that he was aggrieved, but in a blink of an eye, why was he suddenly happy again? She is willing to talk to Ling Xiao, what does it matter to him!

Ye Han obviously thought that it was his business, so after walking for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "What is going on today?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi felt a little unenergetic at this time, so he had to sigh and say sullenly: "What else can it be?" He was instructed by his princess to let me die in the mountains! ”

"I don't see it." Ye Han groaned.

Ruan Qingzhi casually kneaded his ears and asked, "What's not like it?" ”

Ye Han quickly shook his head and shook off her hand, and said in a deep voice, "If he wants to kill you, he can do it thoroughly." For example, find a hillside and throw you down, or simply poison you, disguised as being bitten by a poisonous snake. ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought about it and felt that he made a lot of sense.

Ling Xiao seems to have kung fu, and with so many eunuchs and guards next to her, it is too easy to kill her.

But in fact he didn't do anything, and even let her run away very easily.

It's a weird thing. Could it be that Ruan Biyun also has some kind of jealousy, and she can't directly kill her?

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while, then denied this speculation by himself, and frowned in distress.

Ye Han faintly thought of something in his heart, but he didn't say much, only gently patted her leg twice: "Don't bother, let's sleep first." ”

Ruan Qingzhi replied vaguely, and heard Ye Han sigh in a low voice: "When can I let people save some snacks?" Knowing that he had bad intentions, he dared to follow out, and he was also big-hearted! ”

"Isn't there still you!" Ruan Qingzhi laughed, found a more comfortable position on his back, and fell asleep in a daze.

Ye Han narrowed his eyes and smiled, bending slightly to hold her more steady.

The road is still long, but the night cold does not seem to feel tired, and the feet are walking very steadily, not in a hurry or in a hurry.

At the third watch, there was still some distance from the city gate, but there were two men dressed as soldiers in front of them, galloping on horseback.

As they approached, the sound of the horse's hooves slowed down, and the man watched from the horse's back.

Ye Han tilted to the side to let Ruan Qingzhi lie down, waved his free hand to the soldier, and then still bent over Ruan Qingzhi and continued to move forward.

One of the soldiers suddenly turned over and dismounted, and galloped over: "Do you want a horse......

Ye Han's face sank.

The soldier hurriedly stepped back, straightened his face and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" Why rush overnight? ”

Ye Han raised his head and said calmly: "Passers-by, there is something urgent to return to the city." ”

The soldier glared at him with no good face: "It's useless to go back at this hour, the city gate won't be opened until midnight!" ”

Ye Han frowned and asked, "Can't you be accommodating?" We're in a hurry! If His Royal Highness King Rui enters the city, will you not open the door? ”

At this time, Ruan Qingzhi had been awakened, rubbing his eyes and lying on Ye Han's back, looking at this stranger in a daze.

The soldier immediately sank his face and said sharply: "When to open the city gate, there are rules, how can I easily 'accommodate' for you!" Do you think anyone can compare with the princes? Besides, King Rui has returned to the city in the afternoon, who said that he will enter and exit the city gate late at night? ”

"Afternoon?" Ye Han frowned, "Wouldn't it?" We still saw the carriage of Rui Wangfu in Luoxia Mountain in the evening! ”

The soldier got back on his horse and said impatiently: "Who said that His Royal Highness King Rui must return to the city in a carriage?" The carriage may have been out of town! - No, are you talking to me? ”

Ye Han hurriedly bowed his head: "The grass people don't dare, the military master pleases!" ”

The soldier flicked his horsewhip hard, glared back at him, and the two of them hurried their horses away quickly.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the backs of the two and frowned: "Do you think they are weird?" ”

Ye Han laughed: "It's just two ordinary soldiers, maybe they drank too much at night and drank too much, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"Drinking too much" is a good reason to explain everything that doesn't make sense.

Ruan Qingzhi nodded, and asked again, "Why are you asking about King Rui?" ”

Ye Han groaned for a moment and explained: "I chased you out when I heard that you went out with King Rui, and no one saw him return to the city at that time. I chased all the way to Luoxia Mountain and didn't see the carriage of Rui Wangfu, that person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't answer, waiting for him to continue.

Ye Han thought for a moment and continued: "I once suspected that he abducted you and went somewhere else. Now that you are safe, my original guess was wrong. ”

Ruan Qingzhi understood: "So you deliberately mentioned King Rui in front of the soldiers, and sure enough, you asked about his whereabouts?" ”

Ye Han nodded and said "yes".

Ruan Qingzhi was still a little confused: "Listen to that soldier, King Rui has secretly returned to the city?" But he is a dignified prince, why should he be sneaky when he returns to the city? He couldn't have done something shady under my cover, right? For example, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country or something? ”

Ye Han shook his head and said, "That's not going to happen." He's always sneaky...... I mean, most of the people who are princes are sneaky, we can't guess, so it's better to save this thought. ”

Ruan Qingzhi nodded, thinking that Ye Han couldn't see it, and responded in a low voice: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and I'm not afraid of their sneaky methods!" ”

Ye Han smiled and agreed, still worried in his heart, and couldn't help but speed up his pace again.

Ruan Qingzhi was so sleepy that he yawned and fell asleep again.

This time she slept a little deeply, and did not wake up when she passed the city gates. So she didn't know that at the fourth watch, the city gate, which was said to be impossible for anyone, quietly opened a crack and let her and Ye Han inside.

After that, he returned to Xiangfu unimpeded. Ye Han didn't knock on the door, but jumped in directly with her from the back wall, very neatly.

Ruan Qingzhi woke up again, very interested in this kind of interesting story of climbing the wall and drilling holes, and suddenly fell asleep with joy.

It's a pity that she can't laugh when she returns to Xifangyuan.

Because her father, the prime minister of the court, Nguyen Van Trung, was sitting under the porch, looking at her with a blue face.
